Don't Get Denied: Cyber Insurance Pitfalls Law Firms Must Avoid in 2026

When:  Jan 15, 2026 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (ET)

In today’s threat landscape, it’s no longer a question of if your firm will face a cybersecurity incident — it’s when. But here’s the real risk: most law firms won’t realize their cyber insurance won’t pay out until it’s already too late.
In this must-attend webinar, we’ll pull back the curtain on the most common and costly mistakes that are causing law firms to be denied coverage when they need it most. As cyber insurance carriers tighten their policies for 2026, firms across Massachusetts are finding themselves unexpectedly non-compliant, underprepared and unprotected.

Think your policy has you covered? Think again.

From missing multi-factor authentication to outdated software patches, even one overlooked detail can void your claim after a ransomware attack or data breach. This session is designed to help managing partners, compliance officers and legal administrators spot the silent vulnerabilities hiding in their systems and understand what insurers now require to maintain eligibility.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The top 7 reasons law firms are being denied cyber insurance claims
  • The new 2026 compliance standards insurance carriers are enforcing
  • How to create a 90-day action plan to protect your firm and your clients
  • Why documentation and training now weigh as heavily as technology in insurer decisions
  • How to avoid the legal and financial fallout of a denied claim

This isn’t just another webinar on best practices — it’s a wake-up call for law firms that believe they’re protected but may be just one technicality away from disaster.

All attendees will receive a free “Cyber Insurance Readiness Checklist,” a practical tool you can use immediately to evaluate your firm’s risk profile and prepare for an insurer audit.

This webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is required by 4 p.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in order to participate in the program. An email from MassBar Education will be sent before the program.
